Last Call: Ski & Snowboard Club Interest Form

/in /by

Please complete by TUESDAY (11/7).  Registration paperwork will be sent to those who expressed interest on this form first.  Space is limited.

We are finalizing plans for the 2024 SJS Ski & Snowboard Club!  Ski & Snowboard Club is for students in grades 3 – 8 (students in grades 3 & 4 MUST have a parent or guardian present at all of the sessions in order to participate – they do not have to ski).

Before we move forward with booking the buses, etc. we need to know what the interest level is this year.  Please fill out this form if your student(s) will participate and if you or a member of your family will be attending as well: https://forms.gle/EWLpHqAZhLDWTdrJ6

Some things to keep in mind:

* Dates would be 1/12, 1/26, 2/9, and 2/23 leaving from school at 2:00pm and returning to school at 8:45pm.

* Parent volunteers are needed for the bus, lodge, and on the slopes.  Please note yourself on the form if you will be attending and if you will be riding on the bus or driving up separately.

* Ticket/rental/lesson costs will be as follows:  Lift Ticket Only $160 (4 visits x $40); Lift Ticket with Lesson – $212 (4 visits x $53); Lift Ticket with Rental Equipment – $232 (4 visits x $58); Lift Ticket with Lesson & Rental Equipment – $272 (4 visits x $68).  Lessons are 1 hour.

* There will be an additional cost for the bus – depending on how many families wish to participate and how many buses we need will determine this cost.  We anticipate approximately $120 total per participant ($30 per person x 4 trips) but need to understand how many families are interested to provide an accurate number.

* You must commit to all four dates (if a date is missed a lift ticket will be given to use at a future date, but there is no reimbursement for bus).  Please note there could be conflicts with basketball as we do not have game dates yet.

* The bus will depart from Saint James School at 2:00pm and will return to SJS at approximately 8:45pm.

Thank you to Mr. Joyner for spearheading this again for our school!  We are excited to get SJS back on the slopes for another season!
